BioTE® Hormone Optimization in Los Angeles

Steady Hormone Support For 3–6 Months Without Daily Pills Or Creams

When hormones are out of balance, everything feels heavier. Energy dips, focus fades, sleep gets inconsistent, and mood shifts can happen out of nowhere.

At Giffen Health, we offer BioTE® bioidentical hormone pellet therapy designed to restore balance naturally. Pellets use plant-derived hormones that mirror what your body produces, then release steady levels for 3–6 months without the daily ups and downs.

What To Expect With BioTE® Pellets

BioTE is a bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) delivered via tiny pellets — about the size of a grain of rice — inserted just under the skin, typically in the hip area. The pellets are made from plant-derived hormones that are chemically identical to those your body produces naturally. They dissolve gradually over 3–5 months, releasing a consistent, physiologic dose of hormones around the clock — eliminating the peaks and valleys associated with pills, patches, or creams.

Who Is BioTE For?

  • Women experiencing perimenopause or menopause symptoms (hot flashes, mood changes, sleep disruption, weight gain, low libido)
  • Men with low testosterone (fatigue, muscle loss, brain fog, decreased drive)
  • Anyone with lab-confirmed hormone deficiencies even before menopause or andropause
  • Clients wanting to optimize energy, body composition, and mental clarity as part of a comprehensive wellness plan. Hormone imbalances can significantly impact weight. Ask Lisa how BioTE complements our GIFN Fit program
  • Those who have tried other hormone delivery methods with inconsistent results

BioTE Benefits Beyond Symptom Relief

Balanced hormones do more than relieve hot flashes and mood swings. Optimized testosterone and estrogen levels are associated with better skin collagen production, improved muscle mass and bone density, sharper cognitive function, more restful sleep, and cardiovascular health.

At Giffen Health, BioTE is frequently combined with peptide therapy and the GIFN Fit program as part of a comprehensive metabolic and wellness optimization protocol.

Combine BioTE with Peptide Therapy for a comprehensive hormonal and metabolic optimization protocol.

Supporting Strength, Recovery & Body Composition

Hormone optimization can support more than energy and mood — balanced hormone levels also play an important role in muscle development, recovery, metabolism, and overall physical performance. Many clients at Giffen Health combine BioTE with complementary wellness therapies as part of a comprehensive approach to healthy aging and body composition support. Optimized hormones support muscle building — pair BioTE with XBody EMS Training for best body composition results.

What Is BioTE® Pellet Therapy?

BioTE® is a form of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy that uses small pellets placed just beneath the skin. These pellets release plant-derived hormones that closely match what your body naturally produces.

The biggest difference is consistency. Instead of applying creams daily or relying on pills that can fluctuate, pellets provide a slow, steady release over time. Many patients prefer this because it feels smoother and more stable.

As your hormones optimize, you may notice better workouts, improved motivation, smoother metabolism, easier weight management, and a stronger sense of “feeling like you again.”

What To Expect With BioTE® Pellets

Simple, low-maintenance, and tailored. Here’s how a typical process works:

  1. 1
    Consultation + Symptom Review

    We talk through what you’re feeling and what you want to improve, then review health history and lifestyle factors.

  2. 2
    Lab Work + Personalized Dosing

    We review labs to determine the right approach and dosage based on your body and goals.

  3. 3
    Pellet Placement

    Pellets are inserted during a quick in-office procedure. Most patients find it very manageable.

  4. 4
    Steady Optimization Over Time

    Pellets begin working slowly and consistently, providing a natural rise in hormone levels instead of a spike and crash.

  5. 5
    Ongoing Lab Monitoring

    We check labs regularly and adjust as needed to keep your results aligned with how you want to feel.

The goal is simple: help you feel revitalized, clear-minded, confident, and connected to yourself again.

What Our Patients Say

Patients come in because they don’t feel like themselves. They stay because the results feel steady, realistic, and maintainable.

BioTE® Pellet Therapy FAQ

What hormones does BioTE replace?
BioTE offers testosterone pellets for both men and women, as well as estrogen pellets for women. The specific hormones and doses are determined entirely by your lab work and symptoms. Lisa Giffen interprets your labs in the context of how you feel — not just whether numbers fall within a standard range.
How is BioTE different from other hormone therapy?
Unlike pills (which spike and then drop), patches (which can irritate skin and fall off), or creams (which can transfer to partners and children), BioTE pellets dissolve slowly and deliver consistent hormone levels 24/7, closely mimicking how your body naturally released hormones when younger. Most clients report feeling noticeably more stable in energy and mood compared to other delivery methods.
How long until I feel the effects of BioTE?
Most clients notice improvements in sleep, energy, and mood within 2–4 weeks of their first insertion. Libido and body composition changes typically develop over 3–6 months as hormone levels optimize. Follow-up labs are done at 4–6 weeks to confirm levels and fine-tune dosing if needed.
How often do I need BioTE pellet insertions?
Women typically need re-insertion every 3–4 months. Men, who generally require higher doses, typically every 4–5 months. Your re-insertion timing is based on your lab work and how you feel — not just a calendar schedule.
Is BioTE safe?
Bioidentical hormone therapy with BioTE has been used for decades and has an established safety record when properly monitored. Before starting, Lisa orders comprehensive lab work to establish your baseline. Ongoing monitoring ensures your levels remain in an optimal range. As with any medical treatment, individual health history is considered — a thorough consultation is required. Learn more about Lisa Giffen FNP-C and her integrative approach to wellness.
